The 49ers are one of the best teams in the NFL but I question their ability to win a game from behind this year. When the Vikings established the lead on them in Minnesota, they looked really uncomfortable and out of their element trying to come back.

revenge for the loss the Giants gave you in the championship game? You sound like the Packers fan, Rodgers12, that hopes for the Packers to beat the Giants this season to avenge their loss in the playoffs. A regular season win is important, but playoff time is what counts most. Wouldn't you rather see the 49ers beat the Giants in the playoffs, if they both made the playoffs and met up again?

If people say something rude or off-color, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because they don't know you.

Very true! We need to be really aggressive on O & attack them thru the air early & often. We can run with success on them if we can get 6-7 yds on 1st down completions & then just have to get 4 or less yds for the 1st down. We need to avoid 2nd-3rd & long situations. I see it being won thru the air by us as the 9ers have the 30th ranked passing attack in the NFL & cannot match us threw the air. Having Nicks back for this game would be huge as that would give Eli more options at who to throw to. The 9ers would not be able to double team either one cuz that would open it up for whomever is the 3rd WR to get some big plays. I just feel we have way more weapons on offense than the 9ers can cover.Their pass rush can be countered by screens/dumpoffs to Bradshaw/Wilson or Brown. I also feel we have to go to Bennett more in this game.

The 49'ers are a very very dangerous team. Your D is stifling and your O isn't bad either. That being said, the Giants have a knack for playing up to opponents that are better than them. I would not underestimate the Giants. Eli is playing fantastic, and so is our offense. However, our defense has yet to take over a game (i'll give them Carolina). So we'll see. I wouldn't get too ****y though.
